...network anchormen to helicopter to his mountaintop and hear the insights he had gained from his sojourn. Among his 18 luncheon guests was TIME'S Washington contributing editor Hugh Sidey, who, in addition to writing his regular Presidency column, reported from Camp David for this week's cover story...
Last winter Venus was explored by two Pioneer spacecraft: one a radar-equipped orbiter still spewing data, the other a multiple probe that dropped five instrument packages into the Venusian atmosphere. Among the findings: the neighboring planet has an extraordinary five-layered cloud cover, is riddled by continuous lightning bolts and scarred by a rift valley and mountain peak more grandiose than any on earth, and has totally unexpected abundances of primordial neon and argon. Their presence suggests new ideas about the nature of the great cloud of gases and dust from which the sun and planets were born...

Such figures can only suggest that the growth of Government has been far more dramatic than the growth of the press that attempts to cover and monitor it. With innumerable Xerox machines and printing presses, through tons of publications, reports, tapes and films, countless Government flacks churn out enough information, and disinformation, to overwhelm an army of reporters. To a lesser extent this is true of other large institutions: corporations, unions, foundations, all of which...
